creator-companion

[warm valve]

Hey so quick question. Why is my avatar taking so long to build.

I've let it sit now for almost 10 minutes and I don't understand it's using a ton of ram and like 4 to 5 percent cpu

[wanton wigeon]

Welcome to unity

[cinder steppe]

I still don't know how to fix my issue

[wanton wigeon]

what is the error preventing you from doing?

[wanton wigeon]

if the error isn't stopping you from doing anything it doesn't seem like an issue to me

[cinder steppe]

Opening the control panel

[cinder steppe]

Everything(too my knowledge)else works but that control panel too upload avis and worlds dont

[wanton wigeon]

did you update your avatar SDK recently?

[cinder steppe]

Let me check

Uhh I'm fairly new so where do I check that?

[wanton wigeon]

probably the creator companion if you're using that to manage your project

[cinder steppe]

Oh ok

It's the newest version of the sdk

So yes

[heavy flame]

hey so im having a vcc problem where i tried everything

[normal jay]

It doesn't really fit into the other channels, so I ask here. I tried to upload a build of my VRChat world, right during the API went down last night. Now I get this error message every time I try to upload it again. Can someone help me?

If that helps too

[small eagle]

woah that’s a big bug

@normal jay have you tried restarting unity and/or your computer?

you would expect the internal version to set itself to what it sees from the database, not just internally track and never work again if there’s a disconnect 🤔

[lament spindle]

Has anyone stress tested VRChat when using more than one instance of VRChat using VRC Quick Launcher. Whether or not it'd put a a great amount of stress on the CPU or GPU with only two VRChat instances?

[normal jay]

As it was a private world, I just deleted amd reuploaded it, but thats not an option for bigger worlds

[cinder steppe]

I'm still having issues regarding 'could not fetch fresh config file" which is stopping me from opening the control panel

And I do have the newest sdk

[storm geode]

#creator-companion message

[heavy flame]

TYSM

[storm geode]

Apologies I take a couple of days off of this discord and I have stuff to catch up on my bad

[heavy flame]

no no its ok i thought i was the only one bcs i been asking around and i never had this problem

its stupid of me not to scroll up

[storm geode]

All good your not the first and you won't be the last

[storm geode]

Is it your first time using CC?

[storm geode]

Yeah you can use that or use your command prompt to start up two instances

[lament spindle]

It's the stress test aspect I'm curious if anyone has tested, like whether or not it would take up most of the computing resources itself by itself or heat-up the components a great amount.

[storm geode]

Depends on your pc

[cinder steppe]

Yes

[cinder steppe]

Yes but I haven't had this problem

From the other things I've posted

[storm geode]

You at your pc currently @cinder steppe

[cinder steppe]

Uh no

But any assistance would be appreciated

[storm geode]

All good all you need to do is basically do the same thing as this #creator-companion message
But you need to delete the settings.json and the repo folder

Then it should work

[cinder steppe]

Ok

I'll try that

[fading ledge]

the fuck

[cinder steppe]

What?

[storm geode]

Wild

[storm geode]

#avatar-help is the place you want to be

[reef cypress]

Does anyone know why in the creator companion the area that shows the assets and stuff isn’t there? (The screenshot is from normal unity but this is the thing I’m talking about)

[storm geode]

they go in packages not assets @reef cypress

[reef cypress]

I mean it literally just does not show up

I am a beginner I have no idea what im doing 🥹

[fervent wave]

I'm going to write a few things so I can pin them...

tldr: you won't have to separately update your 30 different unity packages lol

[dapper canyon]

[near cosmos]

Heyo

[glad echo]

Gratz on public launch Momo

[plucky shoal]

Query: Will the new companion tool enable the ability to compile and push projects from the command line, allowing me to make a script that lets me publish multiple projects?

[ember charm]

So, where do we report bugs 😄

[near cosmos]

Yeah great work! poggers

[potent parrot]

👀

[fair crag]

@fervent wave at when a Linux version ?

[azure jay]

nutted

[idle geyser]

this could be really good if it offers a way to get started for users new to creating in the future

[earnest bluff]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/936132593026494564/969981854570672228/unknown.png here is my gift

[fast raven]

cute! so how does the bot work? is it jsut literally for assisting?

[graceful blade]

O

[azure jay]

lets goooooooo

[plucky shoal]

My current #1 issue with VRC development is I have many projects and worlds and many of them share resources. If I update one resource, I have to proceed to manually sit and publish each individual project one at a time, all so I can just click a single button once I run it to push it to the servers

[potent parrot]

😏

[solemn summit]

thanks norton

[plucky shoal]

It would be nice if instead the system had support for writing a script to build and compile multiple projects

[solemn summit]

no offense the the CC kinda ugly

[near cosmos]

Actually Omega thankyou, Its hard to find more Antenna art

[teal aurora]

Muh

[lilac crag]

uninstalling norton is always a good idea

[idle geyser]

It's probably setting off discord's dangerous download notification because it's an .exe

[fast raven]

yes. i'm glad i got rid of my norton

[rustic mountain]

oh nice, was wanting to tinker with this

[solemn summit]

i am about to

[idle geyser]

as for antiviruses its not abnormal for them to do that to new .exe files

[wide burrow]

UHHHHHHH I Have a pretty big question. VRC Team

I and actually a good number of creators make avatars on Unity for MacOS, and this new tool is a Windows executable, what does this mean now for VRC creators that mainly work on MacOS?

[idle geyser]

as in newly developed ones

[fair crag]

wait a little

[solemn summit]

^^^^^

its not a virus

it's just a new file

[burnt bramble]

lol

[west nebula]

is this only for worlds? or can it be use for avatars as well?

[solemn summit]

and discord be like "new phone who dis"

[wheat horizon]

Download the latest release here: https://vrchat.com/home/download

[rustic mountain]

Seconding this question. Any plans to make this stuff crossplatform?

[solemn summit]

you can

[fair crag]

at when a Linux version ?

[solemn summit]

i can't wait for my avatar to be broken

[wheat horizon]

I sure hope you backed up your project first

[solemn summit]

i did

[wheat horizon]

nice

[plucky shoal]

@wheat horizon does the "one click publish" functionality provide any form of command line support, so I can run a script to build->compile->publish a world project, for example?

Would be nice to be able to offload actually publishing my worlds to my build server instead of having to handle it locally on my own machine by hand

[wheat horizon]

I don't know! Momo will be able to answer more in-depth questions once they're available.

[solemn summit]

always do, i've had so much trouble with unity so far it ain't worth the risk

[azure jay]

soooo the setup doesn't open up?

[elder comet]

everyone does, pat pat

[plucky shoal]

Thanks, thats basically the only feature I am waiting on to come back and get into my large project I am working on for VRC, it has around 100 interlinked worlds and publishing 100 worlds by hand is... basically a non-starter, despite the fact its just clicking a button by hand.

[elder comet]

Quick Q - Will this limit uploads to the Open Beta branch or are just the "tools" here in Open Beta?

[solemn summit]

wtf qwq

[wheat horizon]

The tools are in beta, they interact with Live

[wide burrow]

I have to specially know about how will I work on MacOS for this because this new tools will be the future of the sdk and are a Windows only executable

[solemn summit]

i would assume it just uploads to the platform you select to upload to and that's that

[trim heron]

Im backuping everything now

[raw chasm]

My console is currently stuck on "Project is prepared. Now opening up Unity in the BG to process new assets" and Unity hasn't opened. Is this normal?

[plucky shoal]

yeh, its a workaround for the fact VRC has no functionality yet to pass metadata through portals from one world to another, so I have to 2 way bind each portal link by creating a seperate world for each entrance

[solemn summit]

wait until a mac version releases? 🤷‍♂️

[spiral horizon]

I love you Tupper. now say it back 😍😂

[tired pollen]

I think mine is broken, I installed git and its still saying that i need to install git

[solemn summit]

try to click the refresh

[tired pollen]

I did

[trim heron]

200+ GB Backup ;D

[solemn summit]

wtf

[plucky shoal]

if you open up powershell/windows terminal and type in git version what do you get?

[naive panther]

nice!

[idle rampart]

so many announcements

[trim heron]

;D

[azure jay]

Is the setup not compatible with Windows 11? Because the setup wont open up at all.

[ember charm]

👌 Nice seeing this for past 5 min 🙂

[elder comet]

lol

[solemn summit]

storage wars

[idle rampart]

how to fix

[elder comet]

who has the saddest storage situation? FIGHT!

[solemn summit]

WHAT

WHUAT

[next yoke]

most my storages are on cloud XD

[idle rampart]

lol tru

[solemn summit]

bro shut up dumb botttt

[tired pollen]

?

[idle rampart]

bot is right :oo

[sweet basalt]

sad

[desert ravine]

@wheat horizon Question regarding that creator tool box, the track dependencies portion;
Will it help track dependencies of various user created content? For instance is there flags we can use to help set that up or does it only track first party VRC dependencies?

Practical example would be something like an avatar package that remarks it needs X version of Poiyomi, could it give a redirect to the poiyomi discord or github?
I am also seeing how much of an exploit this could cause just typing it out, but still curious

[near zodiac]

oof

[leaden gyro]

i have like 500 gbs left

[sweet basalt]

this is literally my 1 drive

im working on it

i dont have an extra data wire :(

[clear tendon]

Ah Yeah was just typing the same thing lol. 3s to late lol.

[idle geyser]

It says it's only for use by VRChat Closed Beta Members, what does that mean?

[fervent wave]

That's roadmapped, yes

[elder comet]

The most precarious situation of all 😰

[mellow mortar]

where is vcc looking for git? I already have it installed, but its not a system-wide install. Would be nice to allow the user to choose where their git installation is

[fervent wave]

You can try the CLI, which should install on Linux. Some commands may try to call into Windows DLLs though. Not yet tested.
https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/cli

[fervent wave]

It's all my programmer art for now 😛

[desert ravine]

Functionality first, beauty later

[dark wave]

Looks less bland than the Unity screen.

[fading trellis]

im on twitter

[dark wave]

I like it! It's pretty and colorful.

[fervent wave]

We'll have some instructions on using the git package URLs directly and the CLI tool once it's been tested for non-Windows platforms.

[dark wave]

hacker

[clear tendon]

Hey, is there a docs page for this yet. Or is that still a WIP thing.

[fervent wave]

Yep - that's actually downloaded at runtime, just published an update that will roll out soon 😛

[idle geyser]

does the closed beta thing just mean everyone?

it's letting me launch it, am i not supposed to use it if im not in the closed beta tester group?

[plucky shoal]

h y p e, thats been the #1 thing I have been waiting for to deep dive into creating some really cool stuff

[fair crag]

oooh interesting

[dark wave]

I found a bug. When I click Learn, then Search, it produces duplicate letters.

Submit to Canny?

[burnt bramble]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-closed-beta

Ye

[dark wave]

Thanks!

[fervent wave]

It means the new version of the welcome.txt hasn't downloaded yet 😛

[idle geyser]

oh lmao

[burnt bramble]

Neat, it will take some time to properly get a good number of my projects moved over to this, and I already spent a lot of time today just getting my new ssd working...

[fervent wave]

have you checked for a cat on your keyboard?

[idle geyser]

do i have to leave it open to download it?

[dark wave]

no

[idle geyser]

i got it installed and it seems to be working, not sure how to update it

[wide burrow]

Alright thanks, I will have to wait to see the instructions to use them on my workspace

[dark wave]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-closed-beta/p/bug-020-search-function-produces-duplicate-letters

Thank you, friend-o.

[dark wave]

@fading trellis Does this happen to you at all?

[fading trellis]

yeah that happened to me when i tried signing into twitter lol

i feel like thats done on purpose so you dont go using it like any regular web browser

[clear tendon]

I seam to be okay, interesting.

[distant ingot]

Every time I click on any Learn option it adds another letter to the typing xD

[zealous badger]

Well. This is bad ass

[tender turret]

This is like the wikipedia game

[dark wave]

Yep. That's why I posted the bug report.

[distant ingot]

I am at 50 letters per type

[mellow mortar]

bump

[misty vale]

So, I can't selected my custom packages?

[tender turret]

They have to be VPM-compatible, according to the documentation

https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/packages#user-packages

[misty vale]

oh.

[distant ingot]

I am now in GaijinPot. Where to?

[misty vale]

okay gotcha, will there be possible support for normal UnityPackages since some shader author packages are Patreon / Paywall only?

[proud tinsel]

When its says migration delete it should have a warning that your deleting a unity project and are you sure I accidentally deleted a unity project and forgot to back it up

[dark wave]

Some people seem to be having issues too; they're also dog people. I posted a Canny. Thanks!

[tender turret]

Get to Wikipedia, then try to get back to the VRChat documentation

After reviewing the documentation, I gotta say that I am SUPER STOKED for the Curated and Community Packages update. Being able to quickly import all of the tools I use and update them easily would be extremely useful

[gusty aspen]

create templates there amazing

[dark wave]

Found another bug ||/j||

[tender turret]

That's a feature

[jaunty spear]

I can't find the download link at all

[gusty aspen]

force refresh

[jaunty spear]

Ok it's not showing up on specifically chrome

[gusty aspen]

shift refresh

[jaunty spear]

o that worked

[gusty aspen]

you where on a chashed version of the site

[clear tendon]

As far as I can tell, its when ever the CC reloads that it adds more duplicate chars.

[fair crag]

okay full file scanned no virus into anyfile

[dark wave]

Reload this.

[fair crag]

and multiple other cool thing 😏

[dark wave]

Would be good to post on the Canny for comment. Thanks for the insight.

[clear tendon]

Already did, added a gif showing it happing.

[median hare]

What is the creator companion

[clear tendon]

tldr: a package manager for vrc

[gusty aspen]

its vrc's version of the unity hub

[arctic coral]

it appears to read the registry, specifically HKLM\SOFTWARE\GitForWindows\CurrentVersion - either some installations don't set that, or it actually checks against a specific version (which probably doesn't make much sense?)

[median hare]

Ohhh

[gusty aspen]

and adds a lot more stuff

[median hare]

Wait so I can make an avi with it?

[vestal forge]

when you migrate you can still click the buttons under the box 🔨

[gusty aspen]

yep

[median hare]

COOL

😩

[clear tendon]

Its more or less to make sure everything stays up to date.
So you dont have to worry about what version of unity or what sdk is the newest. etc

[cursive pecan]

project migrating with error, yet everything seems to function, why might that be? (also loads me into a non-existing scene)

[clear tendon]

Has anyone had any luck with trying to get custom unity packages to add to CC.

[gusty aspen]

yes but you need to add a file like this on your pc in a folder and then select that folder https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/packages/#user-packages

[safe heath]

Been sitting at this for a while

[arctic coral]

my windows backup from yesterday doesn't have that key even though git was installed and useable from cmd, so I assume perhaps some older installers just didn't create that key? or something like that. the auto-install of git detected my old install and just in-place ugraded it though, so no big deal tbh

[safe heath]

Is there something I need to do, or do I just need to keep waiting?

[vestal forge]

if you dont focus the window it goes slower

testing a copy to new folder migration, taking awhile 🔨

29gb~

[viral oracle]

awwwww yeeeeeeaaaaaa

[latent dune]

Whats the offical steps for migration, (Finshed with Errors) dosent exactly tell me much

[vestal forge]

*'SDK3ImportFix' could not be found. all i get 🔨

[cursive pecan]

an error i'm getting when migrating

Aborting batchmode due to failure:
executeMethod class 'SDK3AImportFix' could not be found.
Argument was -executeMethod VRCSDK.SDK3.Editor.SDK3AImportFix.Run

so, it's a regular issue it seems

[vestal forge]

thought making a new copy would fix it, it didnt

[cursive pecan]

same here

also tried updating the sdk within the project itself, didn't fix it either

[frail spoke]

it won't work for me

[cursive pecan]

prob a workaround is making a package from your unity project (if it's not to big ofc lol) and creating a new project within creator companion and importing said unity package

[gusty aspen]

https://git-scm.com/ install this

[gusty aspen]

--^

[cursive pecan]

hmmm, no spaces in project names when creating a new one?

[bright swift]

Should we avoid using PlasticSCM?

[gusty aspen]

depends on what you want?

[bright swift]

well its not what I want, it's what VRCC wants

[frail spoke]

it didn't work

[gusty aspen]

restart the creater companion

[frail spoke]

i did

multiple times

[proven kiln]

PlasticSCM is fully compatible with the VRCSDK and the creator companion. You can even have one person migrate and then push everything to everybody else on the project, and they will get the benefits without having VCC installed.

[gusty aspen]

try restarting your pc then cause it likes to require one on some devices

[wheat horizon]

Opened up the VCC Beta Feedback board. Please post bugs and feedback here: https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta

[frail spoke]

restarting didn't work either

[fervent wave]

Yep, we're not unsubscribing the keyboard from the view, easy fix for next release 😄

[gusty aspen]

if you open a console and type '''git version''' what does it show?

[frail spoke]

?

[fervent wave]

It's looking in your path. We specifically need you to have a system-wide git because the problem we're actually solving is that Unity needs to be able to use git, and does not provide a way to specify the path afaik.

[bright swift]

Gotcha, I see folks posting here about needing git and I was hoping I didn't have to switch over

[fervent wave]

Yep, You don't have to use it, just has to be installed for Unity to find.

[frail spoke]

i have Unity Hub and Git installed on the same drive
why won't it work?

[fervent wave]

Yep, Unity can take a long time to process the assets depending on what's in the project. The upside is that when you open the project after this is all done it should open up straightaway.

[quaint notch]

So I was told for migration, I am supposed to put my usual package install folder into "legacyPackages" but I'm not sure what to put for the hash value if I do this.
in packages.json

[gusty aspen]

will there come support for scopedRegistries?

[frail spoke]

?

[tranquil wren]

Topically, I just posted a thread about git on the feedback forum. https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/you-need-git-installed-but-git-is-already-on-the-path
in your case, is git on the PATH or is it just on the same drive? e.g. if you open command prompt at type git version or where git does it run successfully?

this said i have no idea where VCC is checking for git because just having git on the path apparently is not enough

[analog tundra]

https://youtu.be/gZrsXV4NM0s

:D

[fair crag]

powershell, cmd or Windows Terminal but not WSL like ubuntu-like

[fervent wave]

the hash values are the GUIDs, I'll update the docs with this info (it was a late addition)

[fair crag]

but not ubuntu-like

[frail spoke]

it's command prompt

[gusty aspen]

what you can do to skip it is to add "skipRequirements": true, to the settings in your documents folder

[fervent wave]

The VPM does not use registries at all at the moment - but we'll add support for Community Repos: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/repos

[frail spoke]

it worked

[fervent wave]

But if you do this then it's likely that things won't work at all

[frail spoke]

thats the only way i got it to actually open

[fervent wave]

Right, you skipped past the screen that tries to make sure that you have git and Unity installed. So if Unity can't restore the git packages in a project, you'll know why.

[gusty aspen]

best way to check is to create a project and see if vrc is installed

[tranquil wren]

I think it found my unity, and if its calling Git on the path (and its a valid working installation of git) i imagine there wont be too many issues

[fervent wave]

However - if git is indeed in your path and Unity can see it, you should be fine. Right now, the git checker just looks for @"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\GitForWindows" in your registry, so if you have git available in your path but no registry key then you'll have wound up in this state. If this is the case, will you make a canny to support this use case? I did not know this was possible under normal circumstances.

[gusty aspen]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/you-need-git-installed-but-git-is-already-on-the-path this is that canny i think

[tranquil wren]

i think i have some kind of frankenstein git setup with some kind of proxy thats calling git in WSL (i assume because i was stubborn and refused to install mingw)

[tranquil wren]

it is technically working though?

[azure jay]

is the ClientSims avatar just supposed to be tpose lol

[frail spoke]

i don't know what to do now

[tranquil wren]

is that a new/migrated project? it looks like git is working but the project directory isnt tracked with git

[cursive pecan]

will there be a way to convert unity packages to VPM's? i have a package i would love to make into a VPM since i use it in every project but all the info on the docs page about VPM is a bit confusing to me

[frail spoke]

it was a new project

[gusty aspen]

so we cant add these lists yet for our own? (or is that where the userRepos list is for)

[frail spoke]

what do i do?

[glass lava]

Anybody else run into this yet? xXx
https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/cannot-detect-project-type-with-non-standard-sdk-location

[gusty aspen]

try reinstalling git from https://git-scm.com/download/win

[frail spoke]

i did

[bright swift]

Been stuck on adding com.unity.inputsystem for about 20 minutes. How long should I let this sit before becoming worried? I made a backup of my project so im not super duper worried, but id like to migrate

[fervent wave]

Yep, it's just a small upgrade from the old capsule. Would love to have full working avatars but decided to release instead of spending another year on it 😛

[fervent wave]

You can add your own packages but not repos yet. That will come after the full release.

[fervent wave]

Hm, that sounds like it's stalled out.

[azure jay]

Oh okay, I like the small improvements though, well done to you guys and Cyan!

[cursive pecan]

will there be a tutorial/ video guide on how to make VPM's? or is it to complex to make a video guide of the process?

[arctic coral]

Yes, that's what I figured out too. I had git installed for a bit, with the official git for windows installer and can confirm that I did not have that registry key (but git was working, even in UPM).

[fervent wave]

We'll write some more information around it by release. Essentially, you just need to make a package compatible with the Unity Package Manager and then add gitDependencies: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/packages#package-format

https://docs.unity3d.com/2019.4/Documentation/Manual/CustomPackages.html

[cursive pecan]

i'll try to figure it out, but it's all a little to complex for me sadly haha

[fervent wave]

We have some other things on the roadmap for later this year if you just want to make and share prefabs and stuff like that. Making VPM packages is mostly for Unity Editor tools and whatnot.

You can use it to share a prefab and an UdonProgram but it's overkill

[cursive pecan]

ahh i see, so not really for things like basic setup? i have an unity package i always import when i start working on a new project

[fervent wave]

Ah - for that, you can make a Template! https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/templates#user-templates

[azure jay]

you can do that in settings

oh

nvm

[fervent wave]

With a template, you can have anything you want all set up in new projects that you make

Can be packages, assets, weird text files, whatever

[cursive pecan]

oh! that's very handy

[fervent wave]

Oops, those instructions are a little wrong, hold on

You'll find the existing templates in ~/Documents/VRChatCreatorCompanion/VRCTemplates, not CreatorCompanion\App\Templates. The rest is correct, I'll update the page now

[cursive pecan]

oki

[latent dune]

Yes

[cursive pecan]

hmm

[lime anvil]

yeah i'm having issues with udon scripts not upgrading

[latent dune]

ill attempt to unpack them all then remirgrate

[lime anvil]

yeah i unpacked em but the scripts aren't upgrading to udonsharp 1.0.0

i've tried recompiling etc,

[clear tendon]

Here's a question, for unity packages that don't relate to vrc, stuff like custom hierarchy. Where normally you would have to install them through a git url on the unity package manager. Would we be able to be added to the creator companion to be auto-installed?

[bright swift]

There's an instance of that in merlins discord, when I was trying the 1.0 beta I ran into the same issue but that fix didn't work for me

Also, killed the updater process, restored my project, re-running it.
It's stuck on adding com.unity.inputsystem again.
Anything I can provide to help figure out why it could be stalling here?

I have unity hub open in the background while doing this, ill try making sure unity isnt open beforehand

[fervent wave]

If you add them to a Repo listing then yes, once we allow you to add your own listings: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/repos
For now, you can create a Template if you want to have them in projects from the get-go: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/templates

You could also add them as a "User Package", though they'll then be in your project with a local path which is less-desirable: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/packages#user-packages

[lime anvil]

InvalidOperationException: Cannot run serialization on U# behaviour 'star_wars_sprite (GripScript)' with outdated behaviour version, wait until program assets have compiled.

any idea how to fix this? happens with any script it tries to upgrade

force upgrade seems to do nothing

[bright swift]

Still hanging

Could unity have crashed in the background?

[lime anvil]

i think i may have fixed it by deleting some scripts, time will tell if it compiles

yup it's good now

[fervent wave]

what did you delete?

[lime anvil]

the udonradiocommunication script

had a fieldchangecallback that i guess the udon upgrader didn't like

[fervent wave]

ah

Is that a public prefab? I'd love to test it and see if I can repro the issue if so.

[lime anvil]

https://github.com/esnya/UdonRadioCommunication

yeah this is it

[hallow patrol]

When I was migrating my projects, they all seemed to fail with executeMethod class 'SDK3AImportFix' could not be found.. This seemed kinda like a false error, because when I open the project again, it had the full menu. The bigger deal that I noticed is that when a migration failed, the popup window gives you the option of opening the Unity project, or deleting it. There's no way to simple close the popup. I would end up just opening Unity, then closing it. A simple popup close button in the top right would help.

[whole radish]

Can I change which harddrive this copies projects to?

[safe heath]

Been stuck at this for 2 hours now

[fervent wave]

It just copies into a folder which is a sibling of the target project, so you can move that project first

[whole radish]

perfect, thanks

[tranquil wren]

huh.. i assumed it was a problem because my migrated project also failed to load in unity. it had the sdk loaded but it otherwise empty

[whole radish]

How big is your project? Mine is 14gb and it only took about 10 minutes

[fervent wave]

Hm - unless your project is HUGE, it may have stalled out. You can try force-quitting the Unity Editor it opened in the background and then opening up the project in Unity normally to see what state it's in.

[bright swift]

mines 4gb and also hung :p

[safe heath]

Mine is only 4gb

[fervent wave]

I just made a change to this system so something may be wrong there. Trying it now.

[safe heath]

The unity editor never opened

[bright swift]

I did this when mine was hanging. It opened normally via Unity Hub but couldn't open at all via the companion, had a bunch of errors related to U#

[bright swift]

Do you have something like this in your process manager

[fervent wave]

It opens in batchmode, so it's just a running process, not a GUI

[safe heath]

Not that specifically. I see the unity crash handler but not together with the creator companion like that

[earnest ibex]

Anyone else stuck on "Adding Dependency com.vrchat.worlds"

?

or is it actually doing something

[quaint notch]

If you've moved the standard Windows folders (for example to a network share) then the installer may crash with the error "Failed to expand shell folder constant userdocs".

If you're dealing with network drives, then this article may help: http://www.winability.com/how-to-make-elevated-programs-recognize-network-drives/

found that by doing a google search and picked up one of those random windows help sites lol

maybe it will actually help who knows

[fervent wave]

Oh wow! Thanks @quaint notch , that's more than I knew.

[quaint notch]

here's where I copied that from https://www.unifiedremote.com/tutorials/how-to-fix-failed-to-expand-shell-folder-constant-userdocs

[fervent wave]

Yeah, the installer needs to copy documents into your Documents folder. If the installer can't find it, then the VCC may not be able to find it, which will be bad because it relies on that folder for a lot of stuff.

[quaint notch]

It sounds like the issue is the installer runs with a different privilege than Unity (or VCC)

so VCC probably can find it, but not admin programs like the installer?

[celest rain]

I don't think that's an acceptable fix...

[quaint notch]

(though the installer debatably shouldn't be admin)

did it do a UAC when you ran it?

(what if you do compatibility mode to force no UAC)

[celest rain]

I don't have UAC enabled.

[quaint notch]

so it will run non-elevated

how does windows even work without UAC? or are you running as admin

[whole radish]

hm, Companion said it failed to mitigrade and gave me the option of either opening it or deleting it. i opened it, and it has no errors?

everything looks fine

not a single console error

[earnest ibex]

does this part take a long time?

[whole radish]

It would depend on the size of your project but I wouldn't expect it to take longer than 10 minutes even for the most insane of projects

[earnest ibex]

okay mine is 20gb lmao

[whole radish]

14gb minutes took 10 minutes, maybe give it 20, then freak out.

[earnest ibex]

Alrightyy

[fervent wave]

Was it an Avatar or Worlds project? I think there's a small logic error in the Avatars migrator which happens right at the end.

[whole radish]

big Avatar project! The only weirdness I noticed was the uploader freaked out about texture mipmaps which was already set correctly before

[celest rain]

correction. I don't have UAC Prompts enabled:

[whole radish]

otherwise, everything is working 100%

[fervent wave]

Is your Documents folder in its typical location (like C:\Users\Username\Documents)?

[celest rain]

nope

I don't do that and it's never affected any other programs, so it's weird that whatever this installer is doing would worry about that.

I keep all of my windows library folders routed to a NAS

Been like that for 15 years now.

[cursive pecan]

would this be something i should make a canny for? sometimes an unity project is still considered "open in another program" even when the project is not open or added to the project lists in creator companion

[feral cargo]

I've converted a 4-month old world project with the new client, and I have a dialog about using the new Unity input system. Should I enable the backends?

[fervent wave]

Ok, would you file a canny for this issue? We're using InnoSetup, looks like we have some options for ways to handle this.

[fervent wave]

Yes, though it may prompt you to change them back.

[feral cargo]

Thanks, I was unsure if the SDK even used the new Input System

[lucid turret]

who thought this was the right way to do this

[cursive pecan]

new project does not seem to want to open into this scene, instead it will open in an untiled scene? is this a bug or are you unable to use folders for your scenes?

[fervent wave]

ClientSim does

[fervent wave]

The right way to do what?

[fervent wave]

I could never get that to work even though Unity says that's how to do it 🤷‍♂️

[cursive pecan]

hmm odd, well guess i'll use a temp scene within the main folder

[deft pagoda]

The creator Companion is a Unity application? Interesting choice for development

[whole radish]

I mean, it's a team of unity devs

[lucid turret]

resize a window only by a settings like that

this isn't a game and it should be available to be resized to fit my workflow i feel

[deft pagoda]

Definitely one of the more unconventional choices I've seen for making an application like it, but if it works, it works.

[lucid turret]

reasonable, i may just be nitpicky but I do wish I could just resize the app the normal way

[deft pagoda]

Only downside is the launch time and overall heaviness of the application

[clear tendon]

Ehh.. scalable windows are kinda weird to set up. Takes a lot of tweaking to get just right.

Seams like it would be fine for the beta

[lucid turret]

yeah for sure lol. for the beta i suppose it's fine, hoping they'll get scaling working later then :P

[clear tendon]

Could always make a canny post about it

[cursive pecan]

where would update be announced in the future, in the companion app itself or still on discord? and if on discord,in which channel would it be?

[fervent wave]

Yeah, I understand that. But this app hasn't had a real design pass yet and has to stay at a 16:9 aspect ratio so free-resizing is not possible at the moment.

[fleet rain]

Yay, no more painful manual SDK updating! I can finally move away from mega-projects!

[cursive pecan]

i never use mega projects, since it can become quite messy when working on commission and when i want to use different versions of avatars/tools

[fleet rain]

I'd already starting moving away from it earlier, but keeping the SDK updated across multiple projects gets annoying fast.

[cursive pecan]

true

[fervent wave]

The VCC itself will show when there's a new version of the VCC available, and you can install it from within the app itself. New SDKs will show up in the Official Package Listing within the VCC.

[fleet rain]

That's still much easier than having to manually open every project then drag n' drop to update the SDK when a new one releases lol.

[cursive pecan]

also question, i myself dislike having the samples folder in my projects, is there a way around it appearing within your project folder?

[fervent wave]

You can delete it, but it may contain programs and prefabs you're using in your project.

[cursive pecan]

ah okay

last question/issue of the day from me, the default scene seems to only ever work if it's the original scene file (VRCWelcome.unity) no other file seems to work at all (even if it's VRCWelcome.unity but renamed)

[thick aurora]

gettin an error

😮

[cursive pecan]

anything to do with udon# seems to be acting up rn since it updated to 1.0.0

[cursive pecan]

pinning might be handy, oops

[celest rain]

done

[thick aurora]

i cannot pin

😮

[cursive pecan]

sorry sleepy, meant pinging

[thick aurora]

oh whomst've should i ping?

i am trying more

i am in no real dilemma i can roll back if need be.

[cursive pecan]

was meant for you, udon# is currently acting a bit up since the 1.0.0 update

[brisk mantle]

It would be nice if one of the options on this screen was to view the errors

Default location for config file being in the documents directory instead of appdata is not great

Scroll speed in the UI is not respected

having verification of the signature and certificate somewhere would be nice in case the download gets hijacked or something

[left bluff]

Is anyone else having issues trying to get projects with git added to the CC?

I get a "looks like the type Unknown, which cannot be added" using my git backed project but none of my other ones

[brisk mantle]

Settings page takes about a year and a half to load for no clear reason without even so much as a loading indicator

[sullen steppe]

This is great feedback, but posts to the channel will be washed away quickly. Please make Canny posts so that we can keep track!

[brisk mantle]

Refresh button on the unity versions selector displays above header element

just posting a bunch of stuff right now

plus this better visualizes just how much I've found wrong in a short timeframe

[earnest ibex]

this has taken an hour and 15min, what to do

[sullen steppe]

Click on Settings and make sure that the path to your Unity editor is correct

[sullen steppe]

I don't think it should take that long, might need to try again

[earnest ibex]

I will try again

[arctic breach]

i tried to create a new project with vcc

it showed a warning saying i don't have git installed then it crashed

[fervent wave]

Some users have issues finding and working with files in the AppData folders, not so with Documents.

[fervent wave]

If settings is taking a long time to load, it's likely that it's doing a full-search of your system to find your Unity Editors.

[cursive pecan]

-+

[fervent wave]

Can you try this version? Patched in a fix for you. https://vrcpm.vrchat.cloud/vcc/Builds/0.2.2/VRChat_CreatorCompanion_Setup_0.2.2.exe

(everyone else will auto-update but that doesn't help if you couldn't install it in the first place)

[brisk mantle]

I don't think it actually matters that some users can't find the appdata folders since you have direct links to the folders in the UI.

https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/feedback-020-change-default-configuration-directory-to-appdata-instead-of-docume

[brisk mantle]

Yes mine are in a nonstandard location, however, the settings page should load instantly and only the dropdown should show a busy indicator while it searches for the binaries. This is about UX and less about the settings taking a while to load.

https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/bug-020-settings-page-is-slow-to-load

[thick aurora]

ah i believe my issue was i had an error migrating the first time

this time it's doing loads more

nope nevermind same error

[celest rain]

It works!

[fervent wave]

I’ll update the canny, too so it’s all tracked and official.

But its past work hours for me, I’m watching bad movies with friends rn

[pearl jolt]

when you add a project it pops up with some [INF] status at the bottom saying it's adding the project.... and then never sends any status to say it's done

sat waiting for a while confused what was going on but it was actually already done it just never said anything about it

[craggy geyser]

Its been hanging on this for a good 10 minutes now, should i just stare at it until it moves?

[pearl jolt]

also.. mildly confused why the VCC has locked resolution settings, of all things

i can see it's not using something conventional for its UI framework since the text looks all weird and there's no visible pixel hinting but even vrchat itself lets you freely resize so dunno what's up with that

[azure jay]

Wut wus it

[proper haven]

cringe "crasher gang" audio

[azure jay]

Lmao

[proper haven]

said "goodbye tupper" or someshit

[azure jay]

BRUH

He reallly thinks hes gonna crash tupper?

[fervent wave]

It’s because the UI layout isn’t flexible yet

[pearl jolt]

not responsive?

[fervent wave]

Right

[pearl jolt]

well, i guess i can kind of see the point, but at the same time, i think personally i'd honestly see the UI crumple and not look right at weird aspect ratios rather than not be able to touch the window size at all

[fervent wave]

You want it smaller than it gets or bigger than it gets?

[pearl jolt]

more so that i want to be able to do things like snap it into a grid on the screen

i usually do things like snap unity or so to the top or right and then use windows' autosnapping to fit docs and other tools in

[fervent wave]

Yeah, after it gets a design pass

[pearl jolt]

alright, cool

[craggy geyser]

i got a feeling this isn't going to migrate

[fervent wave]

Make sure to update to 0.2.2 first

[azure jay]

is it ok?

[pearl jolt]

yeah that's smartscreen

happens for all new programs

[azure jay]

thank you

[craggy geyser]

that's what i'm on, still hung trying to add the inputsystem

[tawny oyster]

can the New VCC be downloaded on Mac, I seem to be running into a problem via file type

[pearl jolt]

also, with clientemu i think the menu should dismiss when you press esc instead of having to press close menu because iirc that happened with cyanemu and if i'm messing with shader things or i'm standing next to a wall i can't see the menu to close it 😵‍💫

[craggy geyser]

it looks like the beta is targeted at windows solely, and it might run in emulation, or through dual boot, or anything else that lets you run windows programs on a mac but it's not released as a something that will run on mac, unless there's another package somewhere that i overlooked

[tepid sleet]

is anyone having any issues launching the game using the quick launcher? when i hit launch, the quick launcher closes, but nothing else happens

[fervent wave]

We only fully support Windows for our tools, sorry. Other options will come later

[proven kiln]

Do you have it pointed at a valid vrchat installation?

[fervent wave]

Unity requires you to click in the game view to recapture the mouse.

[tepid sleet]

thanks lol i feel stupid

i had it pointing to an old install

👍

[pearl jolt]

i get that bit, what i'm saying is that when it's focused and the menu is up pressing ESC should dismiss the menu and it doesn't seem to do so

i can click all over the menu and pressing esc still only works to bring it up

[craggy geyser]

still this, i'm gonna kill it, delete the migrated folder, make sure it isn't still there in the vcc, and try migrating again

[worthy flicker]

@tepid sleetbro r u even a vrc content creator

[pearl jolt]

i loaded up my pre-migration project and can confirm that cyanemu does indeed allow you to both bring up AND dismiss the menu with esc

[tepid sleet]

honestly sometimes.... i doubt myself

literally worked in IT for what, 5 years now

software for 10

forgot to link a damn exe right

SWEAR to god dude im done

[worthy flicker]

LOL

wow ok

but nah chill u are great lol

[tepid sleet]

hahhah

[worthy flicker]

you n eliza are literally the most helpful mfs in the game with avi stuff tbh

[tepid sleet]

awh

❤️

[worthy flicker]

panda also exists but like why

LOL

[tepid sleet]

monka

[craggy geyser]

3rd try is the charm apparently?

If the vcc hangs while adding the inputsystem package, the likely incorrect but effective way to fix it is to close it and try migrating a copy again until it just works. which is honestly entirely acceptable to me

here's my new wall

we're through, with errors, and some missing prefabs

[mighty ridge]

Is there going to be a way to use the new packaging format without the creator companion? I looked at the docs and thought it would be the case because it was using Unity's built in package manager, but there are no base, world, or avatar packages using the VPM format in the downloads sections on the website.

[earnest ibex]

:C

[lime wadi]

Why is the UI in unity instead of well anything else?

Could just use WPF or any half decent desktop system and use an interface between unity player and the frontend

Would also make it easier to add multi language support, accessibility features,

[brisk mantle]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/feedback-020-creator-companion-window-is-very-choppy-when-focusing-window-by-dra

[calm cliff]

I'm assuming that if you export a project made with VCC into a Unity package, you'll need to have a VCC-created fresh project to import the package into to make it all work?

[sharp ermine]

I think unity hub is messing with the companion as it errors or rather stalls when trying to open unity

[stone bane]

very exciting this new Creator companion stuff

[sharp ermine]

I just get this

loading up the unity project it made in unity hub to see if its even all there

[whole radish]

Will UdonSharp ever be included in manual SDK downloads

[viral oracle]

U# will always be a separate package.

[fleet rain]

Thanks Windows, but I know what I'm doing 😛

[lime wadi]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/replace-unity-ui-with-any-other-framework

[azure jay]

Did ProTV break with this? Because after several reimports I'm still getting this

[viral oracle]

Partially depending on how funky unity did things.
Also if you are using a prefab, those contain nested prefabs which can cause issues.
My plan is to look into this within a week and get a DIY fix written up for existing projects (official 1.0 supported beta release soon™)

[brisk mantle]

Nested prefabs will lose their references. I noticed this on my media player too.

[glass garnet]

Question about Launcher, can you launch multiple instances of the same account and wander around with all of them at the same time? why is there the "Launch all selected" or is it just for testing stuff quickly?

[proven kiln]

That's for having multiple accounts, you can put each one on a different profile

[glass garnet]

Ah, I see.

[proven kiln]

You can launch the same account multiple times at once but they can't be in the same instance

[clear tendon]

Cant they? you used to be able to build worlds and test with two of the same player at the same time.

[proven kiln]

if you launch from the SDK you can do that, yes

but that's not a real instance, and those accounts cannot go to a real instance together

[azure jay]

so uh. Error: Could not load signature of VRC.Dynamics.MathUtil:DistancePointToPlane due to: Could not load file or assembly 'Unity.Mathematics, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null' or one of its dependencies. assembly:Unity.Mathematics, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null type:<unknown type> member:(null) signature:<none>

this is from vcc created project

[hoary shell]

Migrating a project disabled the flythrough camera, so now when I hold right-click and press wasd nothing happens. Does anyone know how to re-enable it?

I also can't double-click to rename things which is a problem because I don't know how else to rename animator parameters

[proven kiln]

just restart unity, I've seen that happen before

shouldn't be related to creator companion at all

[hoary shell]

I did once already. I'll try it again

It is still broken, is it related to me not enabling the input manager package?

[azure jay]

Try closing the scene tab and open it again.

[hoary shell]

It's not just the scene tab, biggest issue for me is I can't double click to rename things

oh I just realized that I'm being log spammed every second that my editor is open... There's something really wrong with my project

[keen venture]

I installed Git and it let me thru, but I tried to install the Unity Editor thru Creator Companion and did not work + when I have installed it manually it does not see it

its just stuck

[keen venture]

ok fixed it myself >_>

[ember charm]

So far great

Didnt get further than this

👌

[scenic helm]

0.0 neat

[low parrot]

so... is there a channel or anything so far to talk about creating packages for the VPM? I don't see anything, only this channel related to creator companion.

[ember charm]

Neat if it worked for me lol

[low parrot]

whats not working for you?

[ember charm]

Everything 😄

VCC

[low parrot]

well the screenshots look functional.

[ember charm]

This doesn't seem functional to me

[low parrot]

ahh, I see

that is indeed not correct

is this the first time installing unity for you or have you already had it installed before?

[ember charm]

I have unity and git installed yes

Oh before anyone asks, yes I tried to restart PC, Yes I tried to reinstall, Yes I did clean reinstall

[low parrot]

I can't find the config file for CC either, so I guess i can't help there.

oh

[ember charm]

Gotta wait for Momo

[low parrot]

it doesn't get further for me either, but it seems it is actually done.

if I open unity afterwards it is all migrated

[thorny crater]

i had 2 projects stuck there, one avatar and one world

but the avatar project migrated fine i just force closed it lol

the world however has errors

[low parrot]

you can see if it migrated correctly by just looking at the unity package manager afterwards and check the console for any errors.

the CC shouldn't really have much to do anyways, it just edits a few files and unity then takes care of downloading the packages and installing them. the last step in the migration process, the background unity process... just kill CC and open unity normally, it'll do whatever needs to be done.

it fails to open?

what error does it spit out?

I never tried that as all my projects are in git... so can't tell about that myself....

either way, we can work out the issues I'm sure and make it work

if there are package conflicts we can always just nuke the packages again (either manually or though CC) and try again.

oh

check the package manager (window > unity package manager)

I assume it installed the packages in the main project

and not in a copy

which... should work fine, but you can never be fully safe

ah yeah

well this should work.

I don't see any reason to revert from there

fair

[dark wave]

Good morning.

[orchid plover]

It's not working for me

I had to install manually the unity version, again, and the tool isnt detecting the unity version

[cedar oxide]

seems best idea for now is to manually dup your projects as to not lose them and then use migrate in place NOT Migrate as copy as it seems to break things as I posted in #open-beta-discussion before I saw this

[crystal estuary]

Fully of stolen avatars right? ;)

Beware of this person, he is part of a team that steals your avatars without permission and sells them.

Give up while you can, forget the dark side.

The problem is your mafia.

You hide and do not want your business to be made public. Thieves!

[thin kiln]

But you in there too?

Wherever that is

[ember charm]

Yea I was just gonna ask @crystal estuary Is complaining someone is in that server but they only know that because they're there too hmmm Interesting..

[vestal forge]

🤢

[thin kiln]

BuT iTs DiFfErEnT fOr ThEm To Be In ThErE

[ember charm]

haha

Yea whatever, This is VCC channel not general tho.

[thin kiln]

My guess is I'm just in there to call out people who's in the server! But doesn't apply to me no

[thin kiln]

Ayo they left it now

[ember charm]

lol

Momo, what would be the reason for VCC to totally get borked ?

[fierce condor]

it's almost like some people are in it just to get blacklisted (including me)

[ember charm]

Right ? 😆

[thin kiln]

But then again they were in the server too, shame! Ding

[zealous badger]

Why even do callouts in this thread of all places? Call outs are against the rules, and why in the VCC thread. Like wat.

[crystal estuary]

Users who do not want their avatars to be downloaded have to add their user to their "black list" through the bot they have, which is still disabled and no one can protect themselves.

@ember charm Like you DID

Do not be one of those who defend this mafia.

[zealous badger]

Honestly users don't have to do jack shit. I wouldn't trust thieves to not steal my stuff. I've never engaged with them and never will. No sweat off my back.

[crystal estuary]

There are many content creators who are forced to enter their discord to be added to the blacklist. You still have to thank them so they don't steal from you, it's horrible.

[ember charm]

,

[zealous badger]

Nobody is forcing anyone to do shit. Just ignore their existence.

And yes. Way ot

[crystal estuary]

I just wanted to portray Birb, who belongs to the group and also participates here ;)

[crystal estuary]

It's easy to say when you're not an avatar creator and have to make a living while a group steals them without your consent. We have to act against them.

[zealous badger]

Yeah. But call outs are against the rules

[ember charm]

!!!

[zealous badger]

I am tho.

[fleet rain]

I don't use my own avatars in public at all. Can't be stolen if they never exist in their VRAM or download cache.

[zealous badger]

So how about that vcc

[fleet rain]

VCC good.

[ember charm]

VCC Broken :/

[crystal estuary]

The problem is not using them in public. The problem is being in a Friend+ and your friend's friend has the mod installed and your avatar is uploaded to that website without your consent.

[zealous badger]

The future potential of vcc is amaze

[zealous badger]

Off.

Topic.

[ember charm]

!!!!!

[fleet rain]

I literally only have a single friend I play with. That's not an issue.

[thin kiln]

@Active Chat Mod

[ember charm]

Yea..

[fleet rain]

It works just fine for me, what's broken for you?

[ember charm]

I gotta wait for Momo to wake up cause I'm assuming its night where he is and see if he knows why would VCC go brrrr

[ember charm]

Posted pics and vid bit up.. lemme find a link to it

#creator-companion message

[zealous badger]

There's a lot of little issues

[ember charm]

xD I got the issue that uh..

None of the buttons do anything

Didn't you read the docs? It uses direct neural interfacing to control the UI now

[ember charm]

xD

You mean the docs from 2071.2.3 version ?

[fleet rain]

Works for me, but probably because I already had Unity installed before VCC.

[ember charm]

I have Unity too 😄

I have like 20 projects already lol

[fleet rain]

Do you have Unity installed to a non-default directory?

[ember charm]

nop

[fleet rain]

Weird, that menu works perfectly for me, shows all the correct options and switching between them works.

You have Unity installed as stand-alone or through Hub? Mine's through Hub.

[ember charm]

Hub

[fleet rain]

Then you should have the same config as me... No idea why it's broken for you.

[fervent wave]

Oh hai @ember charm. It looks like the VCC cannot find your Unity installs. The CLI tool can help to diagnose things a bit if you're willing to install that: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/cli#installation--updating
After installing, you can run the list unity command to see what the VCC sees.

[fervent wave]

The good news is that it's found them! What's the result of running vpm check unity?

[fervent wave]

Ok, weird! That's the same function that the VCC calls. I'm guessing that pressing the 'Refresh' button next to the Unity Editor dropdown in the Settings screen doesn't do anything?

[ember charm]

yea nothing happens

Started manual migration through CLI tool, and that works

[fervent wave]

Any errors or warnings in your log? You can open it up by clicking on the log bar at the bottom of the screen.

[ember charm]

Clicking it does nothing, I found the Log folder in Documents, sec

[fervent wave]

Hm, maybe a permissions issue? The app should be able to write to Docs. Can you try launching as Admin to see if that changes anything?

[ember charm]

I attempted full reinstall,

1. Uninstall via Windows
2. Remove any left overs from Program FIles (were none)
3. Cleared Documents and LocalLow Appdata

[fervent wave]

It was able to create a settings file and the logs folder though

[ember charm]

Also CLI migration

[ember charm]

Interesting, starting as Admin worked I think ?

Docs folder is also fuller

[fervent wave]

Oh yeah - it was missing the EditorSettings.asset file it expects to find in the VRCTemplates folder, which didn't exist before.

[ember charm]

Well, now different issue Adding project, and that's it nothing more happening.

[fervent wave]

Did you do a second migration which finished? If not, that project might be in a weird state.

[ember charm]

Even if i try on diffferent project, same thing happens.

Let's see if new project creates.

[fervent wave]

this is with the program running as Administrator?

[ember charm]

Correct

Will report back in bit with New project.

Please wait

Project created, loaded and working tho.

Menu below is interactable, Please wait is stuck forever. @fervent wave
Should I attempt restart VCC and see if the Project is in the Projects list ?

3x Connected to localhost ?

[fervent wave]

Yep. It looks like the VCC never got a signal that the project finished

just once. Doesn't log disconnects

the VCC opens a TCP connection to the project

[ember charm]

Restarted VCC and the Project is ofc not there and Adding it does not work.

[fervent wave]

Is anything listed under userProjects in your Settings file?

[ember charm]

Empty list

{
  "pathToUnityExe": "C:\\Program Files\\Unity\\Hub\\Editor\\2019.4.31f1\\Editor\\Unity.exe",
  "userProjects": [

  ],
  "unityEditors": [
    "C:\\Program Files\\Unity\\Hub\\Editor\\2019.4.31f1\\Editor\\Unity.exe"
  ],
  "defaultProjectPath": "C:\\Users\\suchy\\Documents\\VRChatProjects",
  "lastUIState": 0,

  "allowPii": false,
  "userRepos": [

  ]
}

[fervent wave]

Yep, looks like it's having an issue adding the projects to your settings file. Is it writing logs to disk now? Ideally, there'd be a related warning or issue there.

[ember charm]

Logs don't contain anything about warnings, Logs have just a singular line when Attempting to Add project.

2022-05-18 19:02:08.062 +02:00 [INF] Adding Project C:\Users\suchy\Unity\TOSVRC
2022-05-18 19:04:18.044 +02:00 [INF] Adding Project C:\Users\suchy\Unity\Rantichi
2022-05-18 19:04:27.821 +02:00 [INF] Adding Project C:\Users\suchy\Unity\TestProject

[fervent wave]

Can you try vpm check project [<name>] from the command line?

[ember charm]

The newly created ?

[fervent wave]

like vpm check project C:\Users\suchy\Unity\TOSVRC

[fervent wave]

ok, how about the TestProject?

[fervent wave]

Ok - I appreciate all the testing! I'm not sure what's happening yet, but I see a place where I can add some additional logging in the next build. Will you make a Canny about not being able to add Projects to your listing so we can track this?

If you want to move forward with testing other things, you can try adding one of your projects to the settings file manually, it would look like:

"userProjects": [
    "D:\\Projects\\VRC\\worlds-sdk-test-3-3-22"
]

[ember charm]

I will create Canny yea, Not much info I can put on Canny though. Also let me try editing the json real quick.

[mighty ridge]

Momo, would you mind answering this for me? Thanks

[ember charm]

https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/add-project-does-not-work-new-project-creates-new-project-but-never-adds

Just drop me @, DM or Canny@, when more testing needed. I'm out for now.

[fervent wave]

There are ways to do it, yes - but they are not officially supported right now.

[mighty ridge]

got it, thanks

[fast swift]

Creator companion just did a very odd thing. i told it to save projects in my usual folder, E:\OneDrive\characters\vrchat\Projects but it got confused along the way, as one level up, i had a folder named Assets (completely unrelated to any unity projects) and it started trying to load in all the assets in that folder for hte fresh new project i created

[harsh olive]

If we're pulling a package from a github, like poiy for example, what would the com.mydomain be for the manifest json? Or would we have to wait until they add VPM compatibility?

[fervent wave]

It would be whatever they put as the name of the package in the package's manifest (package.json)

[obtuse apex]

Creating a new world project, and removing the SDK - Base, causes the project to suddenly be "UNSUPPORTED"

[fervent wave]

Yeah, don't do that

[obtuse apex]

Lol alrighty

[fervent wave]

I think the bigger issue is that we need to allow things to be done to 'Unsupported' project types, like allowing migration and package management, etc.

[obtuse apex]

I'm already impressed how user friendly you made it

[rough wave]

Heya! So, I'm one of the unlucky ones :c
I'm experiencing the same problem Miner was / is, and I've tried the steps you guys mentioned but no dice. To recall:

• I first tried just migrating the project - it got stuck on importing InputSystem
• I restarted it and it started migrating to -2 folder so that's very cool but still got stuck there
• search here for some steps of what I might be doing wrong
• got vpm running, it's listing my unity installation and detects the project as legacy
• tried migrating - failed
• restarted the terminal as admin and tried migrating again - also failed
• as a "I wonder what will blow up" I've tried migrating a "migrated" project - sadly nothing blew up, but it also failed
• tried checking the "migrated" project - it's detected as legacy
• tried adding the "migrated" project to the app - it's detected as legacy and I'm told to migrate first

Then I thought maybe I'll just create a fresh project but no dice here either - it failed with "could not find unity installation" in the logs.
Weirdly enough, after checking which unity it detected and reselecting it from the drop down - creating a project magically worked

Maybe this will help with debugging a bit, it's an awesome thing already!

[hollow palm]

why i go in to playmode i cant press accept on the prompt to move around

happenes in a migrated project and a brand new one.

[safe jackal]

I think Packages should be split up between Packages for World and Packages for Avatars. It would keep things more organized and would prevent accidentally adding things like U# to your Avatar Project.
https://feedback.vrchat.com/creator-companion-beta/p/differentiate-between-world-packages-avatar-packages-and-packages-for-worlds-ava

[hollow palm]

they are though

[safe jackal]

then why can I add the World SDK, Udon# or the VRCht Client Simulator to my Avatar Project?

[hollow palm]

dont?

i agree it should warn/just not let you

[safe jackal]

That was my whole point lol
My suggestion was to differentiate between Avatar and World Packages, so that you would only see the one who are made for Avatars for example when you have SDK3 Avatar installed.

It's all explained in my canny

[hollow palm]

i'm not sure how you accidentaly do it though.

making a new project automates all this so there is no reason to do so.

[safe jackal]

That's just one point of it. When you have multiple User Packages for example, it's hard to filter out with one you would want to put in your new Avatar Project when a tone of stuff for worlds is in between.

Same goes for the Curated Packages, when we are getting more of those it will be hard to just search for World stuff.

[hollow palm]

well... i cant even get pass this https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/449386885299830794/976417162967269406/unknown.png

so there is auite a bit off in general

[safe jackal]

It's in general a bad idea to put things you should never mix together in the same list.

[safe jackal]

what's the problem?

[hollow palm]

oh yeah make "curated for worlds" and for avatars

i cant press "accept"

it can highlight it but clcking dose nothing

all i can do it crouch/prone

i even made a fresh project and it's the same

[safe jackal]

hm that's weird

[fervent wave]

Any warnings or errors in your console? Is this true even with a project made from a template and then run?

[hollow palm]

this is a clean project

i have only added a single blend for the base so far

[safe jackal]

Hm wierd, I also just made a clean project, no issues here

[fervent wave]

Does it work correctly in the UdonExampleScene?

If it does, then check that you have an EventSystem in the Hierarchy of your test scene.

[hollow palm]

no

i still can't click it away

[fervent wave]

Very strange. I don't have any other ideas at the moment, sorry. You can file a Canny so we can track the issue, though we'll need to figure out what's different about your setup since we don't have this issue internally.

[hollow palm]

i am using 2019.4.31fi still i do not think the unity version changed.

i'm not really sure why it is a fresh project made with the CC

let me make another New>World

[fervent wave]

Does it work in a basic "World" project made from a template which does not have anything custom in it?

ie - don't import your "Indoorhangout" folder or anything else custom

[hollow palm]

fresh install some errors?

still nothing

[fervent wave]

Do the errors disappear when you press 'clear'?

[hollow palm]

no

[fervent wave]

Yeah, you have 0 errors now.

[hollow palm]

i'm sure i'd work if i could remove this Prompt

casue i have some control?

[fervent wave]

I'm not - if that's not working then there's something else wrong in the project

[hollow palm]

i can crouch and prone

[hollow palm]

not really sure what else could be wrong...

i assume adding updating packages is instant?

casue i just see a [INF] when i do

for the time remaining

[fervent wave]

Yeah, sorry I just have no idea what's going on for you. You can file a Canny so we can track the issue, though we'll need to figure out what's different about your setup since we don't have this issue internally.

[hollow palm]

https://vrchat.canny.io/creator-companion-beta/p/cant-progress-in-clientsim

done.

[thick aurora]

yeah mine is pretty weird at this point

here is what i have done

after migrating 3x

the last time i was able to complete the migration no errors

didn't change anything just kept rebasing and trying again through source control

after i get into my project with all of it all setup i just get spammed in the console about stuff

i'd put pictures but it's always different

but the common word in the error is about serialization

about the only thing i can do to get it to stop is to remove the u# proxy files once i do that it starts having issues with my prefabs

very strange

Granted this is with an already developed in project i have yet to try it on a new one but i assume it would be okay 🙂

[thick aurora]

^

[fervent wave]

Yeah, sounds like issues with U# programs. The latest version of U# is stricter about certain things that were "discouraged" before and "not supported" anymore.

[thick aurora]

is there something i can do? or will it come with time?

also i tried a new project and other than needing to do a restart after inital setup it worked 😄

[fervent wave]

If you want some help, a good start would be to post the exact errors you're getting in the console and any other related information. I can't do much to troubleshoot "spammed in the console about stuff".

[fervent wave]

Is there any info present on the inspector for that UdonBehaviour?

[thick aurora]

alright sorry had to recreate it

standby

[urban sphinx]

I got this error when creating new project via CreaterCompanion app

[tropic violet]

The creator companion app is just hanging on a white screen for me when launching

[robust grotto]

Can we link any github in the sdk ? So someone get alert when there a new version ?

[velvet pier]

After migrating my world using the VCC beta, opening the project gives me this modal

Clicking yes causes unity to crash, and it will keep crashing each time its opened.
If I go with no, unity launches, but ClientSim is not a happy camper

Applying these changes causes unity to crash again.
Applying the Input Axes fix is successful, but applying the Input Manager fix causes unity to crash, and the project can't be opened again.
error.log from unity looks like some memory issues?

Trying this on a much smaller project to see if I get the same issues

Everything was fine with my other world. So there's something with my bigger world that isn't working well with what's happening in "Set Input Manager"

Stacktrace from Editor.log

With the large project. I removed UdonSharp 1.0.0 and the project launches!

Adding UdonSharp back via the VCC causes the project to crash again though :/

silly bug but w/e

[fervent wave]

Thank you for letting us know! We can add it to the known issues until we fix it, at least.

[hollow palm]

i had a DualSense (PS5) plugged in if it matters

i'm not sure if steam converts it to x-iput or not for everything.

[fickle loom]

When setting up the Creator Companion, I had an issue where the app wouldn't find the unity version. I had to go into settings, then click the refresh button to get it to recognize the install.

[shrewd raven]

1 thing i like to see. have a tool that can take old file and full bring into creator-companion without having make new file.

[dawn burrow]

having no control over where the CC stores temp files is nice... I can set the install dir but git and all temp files are automatically installed on c? how rude... how about we change that huh? for the same reason we choose our install dir, we might not want to be forced into using a particular drive.

[agile plume]

For me both automatically where in my projects after migration

[safe jackal]

Than write a canny about that

[agile plume]

Migrating a world project be like

But it's mainly the issue of the new package manager using a open beta udonsharp version

Wonder if i can just downgrade udonsharp to a stable version

[shrewd raven]

ok. i think i got idea how take old project and move it into creator compnion. you need to delete sdk and udon shape

[fervent wave]

You can install git wherever you want as long as it's in your path and registry before you start the CC. As for the temp files, do you mean the items in your Documents folder?

[fervent wave]

Nope, need the new version for compatibility with the VPM SDK, but we're working on fixing UdonSharp upgrades.

[slow lark]

I am trying to use the VRChat CreatorCompanion. When making a new world project, it says it cannot create from the template. When trying to add a Unity project, it does not work when I choose the folder containing the Unity project.

Also what is the difference between a World project and an UdonSharp project?

[viral oracle]

One has udonsharp, one doesn't?

[agile plume]

is this meant to exist again? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/835462153208594433/976962628343693342/unknown.png

[fervent wave]

Can you post the exact error messages you get?

[slow lark]

Is the UdonSharp project a World project as well?

[fervent wave]

Yep! https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/templates#udonsharp

[slow lark]

thank you for the docs

[agile plume]

Quest World project crashes after setting up ClientSim and ClientSim saying you need to restart unity

Only resolved by deleting ClientSim

mmh well deleting and readding fixed that issue

[round mulch]

how will the companion interact with projects multiple people work on remotely?

[proven kiln]

Any time you update packages using the companion you should push your changes just like any other change you make. Other people will be able to get those changes and use the project just fine. If they don't use the companion they won't care, if they do use the companion they'll see the same thing you do

[fresh jasper]

I know that the custom repo's are currently not enabled, but is there an alternative way to test retrieving a package from git URL's with VCC currently?

[fervent wave]

You can enter the git url directly into the Unity Package Manager using add from git url...

That's all the VPM does really, when it adds a package

[fresh jasper]

That won't do the gitDependencies automatically though, right?

[fervent wave]

that's right - Unity doesn't have a way to do git dependencies

[fresh jasper]

Alright, so for testing I would need to do those first the same way before the package itself then?

[fervent wave]

Ooh - just checked the source code and you can use the CLI to add a package and it will resolve the dependencies for you: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/vpm/cli/#add-package

you'll have to have the package saved locally, but you can test its gitDependencies that way at least

(you pass in an absolute/relative path to the package dir)

[fresh jasper]

Ah, ok. Let me try that

[fervent wave]

I can make the next version of the CLI support adding packages from git urls that way too, so you can test

[fresh jasper]

That would be really helpful, thanks!

[dawn burrow]

yeah, the issue was with having CC handle the git install. If I installed everything manually the issue would be avoided but I wanted to test the functionality and performance of the CC. The automated install of git from CC used the primary drive and subsequently all vrc git projects (sdk, u#, cs) were also stored in the git temp directory. I don't recall any prompts from git when installing using the CC but ill find out again this weekend when I clean up the mess.

[fervent wave]

Yeah, we install git silently: /SILENT /NORESTART /NOCANCEL /SP- /CLOSEAPPLICATIONS /RESTARTAPPLICATIONS /LOG=\"{_gitInstallLogLocation}\" /COMPONENTS=\"gitlfs,icons,assoc\"

[dawn burrow]

so then just manually install git and link it later?

[fervent wave]

Yeah. Right now, the VCC checks for a registry entry for git but I'll be updating that to check for a good response from git --version instead since some people have git installed and available in their path without a registry entry.

[dawn burrow]

rgr, thanks for the feedback momo. cc is looking very convenient so far.

[errant surge]

huh

[fresh jasper]

One more question, is the legacyFolders option of the manifest not functional right now without a given GUID? The documentation says it should use the directory path instead, but it doesn't seem to ever delete the folders if I try that. I'm formatting the paths in the manifest the same way the Avatars SDK does, so I don't think it's that.

[fervent wave]

it should work without a GUID as long as the path matches something found in the project (Make sure to start with Assets/)

[fresh jasper]

Oh, let me try that. I was using Assets\\ because the SDK used it.

[fervent wave]

sorry, I was paraphrasing - Assets\\ should work well (windows wants them double-escaped like that when reading from json I think)

[fresh jasper]

Ah ok. Regardless, neither seems to be working for me strangely. When I import the package with one of the folders present, it just leaves it and causes all the duplicate class errors.

[fervent wave]

We haven't tested it on any third-party packages yet. If you can provide the manifest and an example project, we can test it here and see what's going on

[fresh jasper]

Sure! Do you want the full package the manifest defines as well, or just the package.json and the example project?

Also, where and how would you like me to send it?

[fervent wave]

You can zip it up and send me a link via Google Drive, DropBox, MegaUpload, etc. I'll send you a DM.

[viral oracle]

MegaUpload

[cedar oxide]

with avatar 3.0.4 and base 3.0.4 it keeps looking for worlds when i try to load my content, and keeps saying I'm not logged in when i clearly am there a fix or should i go back an update for now?

[fervent wave]

Hm, yeah you can try swapping to 3.0.3 through the VCC. Should be able to do it with the project open and everything.

[cedar oxide]

What's the point of the scrollbar if the log buffer is tiny?

[fervent wave]

You can look back a little if you want to check something out. But you're right, it's not very useable - I implemented the log as a scrollable area but Unity was unhappy with the length of the contents so I had to cull it as it moved along. Would you personally want a bigger buffer or just no scroll bar?

[lime wadi]

considering the ui still functions in the background during migration neither, Add a small progress bar in the list of projects indicating migration is happening, then being able to click on the progress bar to view the logs

[random swan]

I had some projects that kept importing every time I opened them, running them through migration with creatorcompanion fixed them, wohoo

massive time gains

if i export a project to a unitypackage will sdk still be included?

need that info for a commission

[plush palm]

so I did a fresh install, brand new udon project, and I got this error as soon as a made a scene descriptor https://pastebin.com/f0cYUAZy

any ideas?

(this was done after i set up and used the Creator Companion)

[fervent wave]

No, and you're not allowed to redistribute the SDK under the terms of its license. However, if your project has dependencies on the VRC SDKs via git (this is what the Creator Companoin does), then your client will be able to pull in the SDK directly from VRChat's git repo when they open the project.

[plush palm]

I looked away to check somthing, came back to the project, and it suddenly works now? o.O After intial set up does the sdk download stuff that the descriptor wasnt ready for?

[agile plume]

ah so its not included but imports itself automatically?

[fervent wave]

The SDK will import the UdonExampleScene sample package after the first assembly reload when you open the project, which may have a prefab or script that was needed.

[fervent wave]

Basically, yes - Unity will use git to download the packages if they are listed in the project's manifest (Packages/manifest.json).

How does VCC handle dependency version conflicts?

[fervent wave]

It depends on the case, you'll need to describe a scenario
